More stuff I remember:

If you were around, you'll remember.

I liked them both. I think some people were just a bit jealous, that's all.

J.

Or annoyed. Here's a sample thread:

So what does everyone think of the collapse of Iceland's coalition government? Will this lead to another collapse of the Krona?

...

Oh Brohi #2, I love you so much!

Not as much as I love you Brohi #1!

Rinse and repeat in as many threads as possible...

Oh lord! I don't remember that. But that's probably a good thing. I wouldn't have been able to take it.

Red77. Need I say more?

She once "snogged" me

Did you get on her tits?

I think all men got on her tits.

 

[Goji]

I remember the early days of my time here, when I literally owned Goji following an auction here on Misc.

Then I changed my username and the contract was deemed null and void.

Oh, that's good. That means I can be for sale again.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Stewey being the ultimate Enterprise troll, spending more time watching and posting about a show he hated than the biggest fans. Sort of like stj in the Galactica forum.

Or MattJC and 3D Master in the Trek XI forum.

And speaking of Galactica: Languatron never made it over here, did he? (If you don't know who he is: Don't ask.)

Also, in the much more recent past, what happened to all those random soapbox or woe-is-me threads that Jayson and Good Will Riker would start?

I feel oddly left out here...

 

[doubleohfive]

When did Jayson ever start a "woe is me" thread?

Aldo, Goji, Good Will Riker, Hermiod... sure, but I don't ever recall Jayson doing one.

 

[Gepard]

And speaking of Galactica: Languatron never made it over here, did he? (If you don't know who he is: Don't ask.)

Has he ever left his own private super-special message board?

Somebody suggesting a good way to get the masses to watch Star Trek was to have a huge parade convoy going through every city advertising it, with floats, celebrities, etc. I forgot the poster's name, and couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but damn that was a funny thread.

Oh, jeez. I don't know who that was, but your post made me think of another old-time crazy: the guy who wanted us all to pool our money so we could build a full-sized, for-real Enterprise. On the ground, presumably, JJ Abrams-style. I can't remember his name, either.

 

[Nobody]

I remember the precursor to TrekNation -- TrekZone.

I remember when Christian changed the locks on Saleel, and the messy divorce that followed.

When you didn't need to register to post.

da woim's Voyager reviews, I loved those.

[Aragorn]

When did Jayson ever start a "woe is me" thread?

How about all those times he's complained about never getting laid, which in turn would lead to threads about ways he thought he could go about getting laid, like the guy-pregnant girl he contacted online?

My only real "I remember when" for TrekBBS: Before I just kinda stopped logging on with my old account (real life becoming increasingly intrusive), there was a lot of speculative buzz about the new Trek series (Enterprise) that we all knew was coming, but not a lot else. I still have some art floating around on one of my hard drives that people did back then. They were supposed to show what the new ship was going to look like. Totally wrong, but pretty cool, anyway.

Oh! Wait. I also remember when T'Baio started that big thread where everybody talked about stuff from the old days. Good times, good times.

I don't know that anyone who hung out in the ENT forum in those days will forget when this image first showed up:

So many people thought it was a fake. Then we got the comparisons:

And the what-ifs:

And my personal favorite from that whole period, Vektor's take on what the underside of the ship might look like:

And just for fun, here's an old one from when people started to realize that archer might be a bit of a dweeb (click for larger):




Good times.

^ I remember that. Oh God that was great!
That also reminded me of this:

[Lindley]

I remember the big murder mystery thread in the Admiral's Lounge. Was it Hunt who organized that?

 

[Trippy]

^I remember when that starfish was a lounge mod

 

[Mallory]

I always liked this one from Harve Bennett's 1987 proposed StarFleet Academy series. It kind of put the Akiraprise discussion to bed for good.

I miss the Starfish being a lounge mod.
